We've gotten a lot of questions on our RV window shades, and here I share the long process it took us to get to our final design. You can use these tips and tricks for building your own, or use them to shop commercial products that will perform well.

James, when is Winnebago going to offer an Ekko with the Fit RV options.

@plove523 8 месяцев назад

Very clever! And far superior to what is commercially available. I hope you got a patent. Especially on your screen door that's not a screen door.

Absolutely ingenious mod, love it!!

My favorite van people have comments ‘on’! You’re the BEST, thanks for what you do! For sewing tips and tricks, Sailrite is the way to go. I’m glad to see you agree. I subscribe to their channel also

Great detail and explanation. I wished all RV windows had these options. Sewing is out of my league. My windows definitely need this mod.

@crinagrewel6936 8 месяцев назад

I too used a thermal gun on my windows to determine the best insulation for my situation. I have reflectix between the window and my covers which are comprised of felt with air gap, but sewn together with heavy weight corduroy upholstery fabric

Do you know where I can find the reflective blackout strong material? Great video- thanks for the info!

Very informative video! Thanks.

Just watched your review on the View with cargo. I have to say your Echo just looks more homey and fully functional. Great shade analysis.

@terrillforehand795 8 месяцев назад

Does the Sailrite sewing machine you displayed need any additional attachments, other than what it came with, to create the window coverings?

Do you have another above the door to keep the cold and heat out as well???

@idawillis5997 8 месяцев назад

I love it. How can I support your design? I noticed you don’t have any in your store.

@phillipstrawbridge6632 8 месяцев назад

In very hot temps does the glue on the Velcro not give away?

Living in the desert southwest, we can confidently say it’s been holding great.

@StratRider 8 месяцев назад

When you mentioned proper installation of reflectix but didn't follow up on that, I went on my own tangent and still found confusion from different sources. I would love to see your video on proper installation since this one was VERY informative.

@robertgedzelman380 8 месяцев назад

Thank you ever so much for your hard work, your selfless dedication to thorough research. Your results: reflective + insulative batting and insect screen combo the best of all worlds and only after you've spent HOURS and HOURS doing different trials (zip from bottom up on screen makes the most sense, but who would have initially thought of that?). Wonderful...what positive contributors you two are.

Woah, comments enabled. How is it 158° ?

@Dirt-Diggler 8 месяцев назад

Because glass absorbs heat so it gets hot 🤔 ? Mind you it'll be even hotter with the screen fitted as it can't dissipate that heat to the cooler air inside the van, but then I guess that is the whole point of the screen, insulation

@netposerx 8 месяцев назад
